I love this card. Love it. Love love love. Can't get a good image for online to save my life these days-- will have to try a new route. Anyway, just to be proper, here is a list of materials:-Stamen from Wilton-Flowers from Recollections-Paper is Kaisercraft and Basic Gray-Rhinestones are Studio 18-Tubarosa cigar box image is from my old stash...

Whoa! Not sure how it happened, but here it is Monday evening, and I'm posting THREE cards for the Mojo sketch!

Details, details:-All three cards were made using Basic Grey DP, and the birthday card also has some BoBunny Dp and paper of unknown make.-The taupe seam-binding is MS; the striped ribbon is from Michael's.-The oak leaf stamp is Inkadinkado, and the ink is cat's eye metallic...

Do you like them, Andy? I love how the sympathy cards turned out, but I had higher hopes for the birthday card.

I have had a picture in my head of how I wanted to assemble this week's Mojo sketch for Challenge 225, and this is *close* to my vision... not the look I wanted, but still cute. In any case, here it is!
Flowers: PrimaBeige accenting: Scribbles puff paint (shhhhh...)Papers: Bulk cardstock, October Afternoon "Farmhouse", parchment, and old sheet musicAdhesive: Viva Las Vegastamps miracle tape, Glue dots, Roxanne Glue-baste-itRibbon: Bulk
Note: Happiness and Candy were the names of Andy's childhood's neighbors' dogs (did I just do my grammar properly???), and I love putting that on cards. A good phrase.

Captain Obvious speaking. This is my card for Mojo 224. Been wanting to use this kraft paper from MME for a month now, and finally decided to bust it out with the latest Mojo challenge. The paper really says "Mexico" to me, but this ended up western-y (again: to me... maybe not to anyone else!) In any case, I think it's a pretty cute card, and I still plan to use the kraft line like crazy, until I run out of it and wish I'd purchased 4 sheets of each.

I have been crazy about this particular selection of papers I mixed together-- like I told you, Andy, these are either the coolest cards I have ever made... or the ugliest! But I continue to love them and so maybe other people will, too! I bet my sister will think these are cool... or, then again, ugly! Here are a couple, posted above...

The paper selection includes DPs from Studio Calico, BoBunny, Crate Paper, along with some bulk parchment. The grey pom-poms are from MME, the red pom-poms are Berwick. The red rose was made from old seambinding (thanks, grandma), using a Cosmo Cricket gluber! Hope you likey.

My sweetly supportive husband has urged me to post a couple recent cards... I think they turned out well!

The plaid card was made using BG's "Little Black Dress" line-- with such a gender-specific title, it's funny that I made a man's card with it! I also used Glitz bling and puff paint, and slapped it all on 60# parchment! This was for my BIL's 31st... I heard he liked it a lot, and he and my sister are definitely cool, so I feel proud.

The super-sweet (pun intended) birthday card was made for my dear friend Vicki. She is an excellent baker (particularly muffins and cupcakes!), so I came up with this! Darnit: not sure who made the awesome cupcake DP. The yellow cardstock was just bulk cardstock from a local shop, and the border was made with a MS punch (duh). Used the Colorbox chalk Toffee, I believe, for edges, etc. Flower was from a bulk purchase.
